With the AB 1332 deadline approaching in January 2025, cities across California need to establish a preapproval process for ADU plans.
This can feel like a big task, especially when you already have systems in place for permitting. Our software makes it easy to meet these requirements without creating more work for your team.
Why AB 1332 Matters
AB 1332 mandates that by January 2025, all California cities must establish a preapproval process for ADU plans. This means your city needs to:
• Accept submissions for ADU preapproved plans.
• Ensure those plans comply with California’s zoning and building regulations.
• Approve or deny applications for preapproval in 30 days or less.
• Post preapproved plans on a publicly accessible website.
The bill is part of a broader effort to address California’s housing shortage by simplifying and accelerating the development of ADUs. However, implementing a new process that aligns with these requirements can be daunting, especially when many cities already have established permitting systems in place.
Here’s how it works:
1. Quick Setup, No IT Headaches
We know you’re busy, so we designed our software to integrate seamlessly with tools you already use, like Accela or EnerGov. There’s no heavy lifting required from your IT team, and we can get you up and running in days, not months.
2. Streamlined Approval Process
Our software automates the submission, review, and approval of ADU plans, helping you meet the 30-day timeline that AB 1332 requires. By automating these processes, your team can focus on other priorities, knowing the system handles the workflow.
3. Public Access Made Simple
We make it easy for residents and developers to access preapproved ADU plans through a searchable database integrated right into your city’s website. This reduces redundant plan submissions and keeps everything transparent for the public.

The Problem Cities Face
Many cities already rely on software like Accela or EnerGov for managing permit workflows, which makes the thought of adding a new layer of preapproval processes overwhelming. City officials often worry that adding a new tool will lead to major IT challenges, require a complete overhaul of existing systems, or incur significant costs. This concern can slow down implementation, making it difficult for cities to meet deadlines or manage preapprovals efficiently.
